Tiemoue Bakayoko to have Chelsea medical this week as transfer edges closer

Bakayoko underwent minor knee surgery with the 22-year-old suffering discomfort towards the close of the season.

But, Chelsea are confident the deal remains on track and Bakayoko will fly into London to have a medical this week.

The Blues are even hopeful the deal will be done in time for Bakayoko to fly out to China and Singapore next Monday.
